State Route 86/Avenue 50 New Interchange Project

Document Description: The project would convert a portion of SR-86 from an at-grade signalized intersection into a grade-separated full interchange with a new OC bridge and access ramps. The project would also construct a new bridge structure over the CVSC that would replace the existing at grade low water crossing. The construction of the bridge for Ave 50 over the CVSC would also include realignment and widening of a portion of Ave. 50, and realignment of portions of Tyler Street on both the west and east sides of SR-86. The existing 1-lane in each direction road that is located within the limits of the CVSC would become a CVSC maintenance road. The project will be constructed in 2 phases.
